Devoted Obsession

He wasn't supposed to notice her.

She wasn't supposed to matter to him.

And yet, from the moment their eyes met, something changed.

Karan Malhotra, twenty-three, returns to India after years in London and steps into the world that has always belonged to his family-Malhotra Industries, Asia's No. 1 company.

Young, charming and impossible to silence, Karan is all warmth and smiles.

He trusts too easily.

He talks too much.

And perhaps most dangerously...
he follows his heart without thinking twice.

Then there is Tejasswi Singhaniya.

Thirty-three.

The woman behind Singhaniya Industries, Asia's No. 2 company.

Cold. Controlled. Ruthless.

A woman whose silence can be more intimidating than words.

She doesn't smile easily.

She doesn't trust easily.

And she certainly doesn't have time for a t
twenty-three-year-old man who seems determined to talk to her every time their paths cross.

Their families have spent years competing at the highest level of the corporate world.

Malhotra versus Singhaniya.

Number one versus number two.

And now, somehow, their heirs have begun crossing paths in places neither of them expected.

A fleeting glance.

An unexpected encounter.

A conversation that should have meant nothing.

A moment that neither can explain.

Karan doesn't know why he keeps noticing her.

Tejasswi doesn't understand why his presence irritates her so much.

But there is something about their encounters that neither of them can ignore.

Perhaps it's coincidence.

Perhaps it's rivalry.

Or perhaps...
someone-or something-is quietly pulling them toward each other.

Because some stories don't begin with love.

Some begin with a glance.

Some begin with rivalry.

And some begin with two people who were never supposed to meet...
meeting far too many times to call it a coincidence.
